Fun Facts
Trivia
- This email was previously teased in a tweet on February 27, 2012 that read "Someday, when you least expect it...". Attached was part of a script (which has since been changed heavily).
- This is the first Strong Bad Email to be uploaded since videography on October 5, 2009, ending its longest hiatus to date (approximately five and a half years).
- The Lappier is based on Strong Bad's third computer, the Lappy 486.
- The YouTube version is titled "sbemail206 - April 1st".
- The Floppy Disk Container reads "level 10", very likely a reference to Stinkoman 20X6.
- The fake merchandise shown is worn by Mike Chapman.
Remarks
- Before Strong Bad dusts off the Compé, its gray plug is clearly visible. However, after the Lappier is revealed, it becomes a beige plug.
- Strong Bad's pants have no reflection when Marzipan is seen with The Cheat in her throat.
Goofs
- When Coach Z appears as Renaldo, his arms are a paler shade of green than his body.
Inside References
- The fake merchandise shown is based on the characters Trogdor and Rather Dashing.
- Homestar wants a Trogdor backpack (which includes a beefy arm) so he can have "three arms".
- Homestar mistakens his reflection for his "twin brother 'Chauncey'".
- In hygiene, Homestar (as John) called a moth that lived in his mouth by this name.
- When Homestar breaks the mirror, he gets shards of broken glass in his face, which previously occurred in licensed.
- The mirror shown has an appropriately placed mustache on it.
- Marzipan is standing behind a cinder block with a chalkboard reading "gluten-free concert for birds".
- This email marks another instance of Strong Bad smiling.
- The King of Town takes a bite from a mirror.
- The upside-down turtle next to Strong Mad was previously seen getting Oatmeal dumped on it in new hands.
- There is another mention of Jones.
Real-World References
- Google Buzz was a social network launched in February 2010, and discontinued in December 2011 when it was replaced by Google+.
- "Olde Time Jones Drug Filled Tonic" being marketed towards children is a reference to how children's medicines of the past contained ingredients that today would be questionable at best, including opium and cocaine.
